gpuboss is bullstuff and rates cards lower based on loving market share even. plus the original titan was released before the 780 ti even.
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1721?vs=1716 here, actual benchmarks which show the 980 is faster
Because heat is an issue. As long as you dont OC the card itll be find otherwise its factory fault or whatever
It is when the loving card downclocks itself because it'll overheat otherwise
Hes gon OC it, I guarantee it.
What? The only people I see OCing are either really serious or 12 year olds who want to play a new game on a 6 year old media center PC
I bet you never had the combination of a modular psu + a stuffty case with no room for cables + a full drive bay.
I've built enough mATX rigs that had a bunch of cables, just close the panel and you're done
Oh and the CX500M isnt stuff fyi. Itd get a stuffty modular over a supreme non-modular everyday
That's just plain stupid, have fun with coil whine and random unexplainable issues
And im not telling him to get 1080, im telling it its stupid to buy a 980 when the 1080 is coming out soon-ish.
It's not stupid since the 1080 is almost twice as expensive and replaces the 980 ti, not the 980.
